My Uncle came round and brought me a ton of spare parts, now im wondering, how many of these i could fit into a computer, like, is it possable to fit more that one motherboard into one# Will find models and stuff later BTW: What i want to know is how much of this stuff could i Actully Use to build a new computer? I have) 4 Computers Full of stuff needed to run + Graphics card + Sound card + USB things + DVD Writer Drive In in Spare parts i have 4 Graphics cards 1 Sound card 1 USB type thing, Differnt shape though 5 Hard drives 1 Power Supply Unit 3 Processor Chips 3 MotherBoards 3 Empty Computer Cases 8 Memory 2 Floppy Drives 3-4 Cooling Fans And Loads of Screws and wires
You can always use some screws. Now, as for some of this stuff, I would just look for which one is better than the other. You can use the best CPU, the best Motherboard, best Case, couple fans, Best set of memory, the PSU, Best graphics card, and use a RAID on the HDDs. Also, you can use a Floppy if you want. You can also use an IDE for two of the DVD/CD Writers. Erm... or you can just build a set of computers out of that with some of some new stuff. Just buy some PSU's, etc...
well I doubt any of them would ebs erver motherboards which are capable fo being linked, spo yhou can't fit much more than 1 motherboard into a case. also that says nothing, which procs, what type of ram, which motherboards, etc.
I missed the linking part. I highly doubt any of your motherboards are capable of that... you would know if they where. If they are, then you could possibly do it but I am not sure how to. I don't think you really want to either because it requires switching.
I know, its hard to find out, i dont know were to look, 2 of the Processor chips have no writing i can see, 1 is an Intel Pentium, One of the Graphics card is a ATI hmm only thing like a specific one is were it says RGPRO AGP 49801101 Could anybody find me specs on it
you could always put the systems together and look at the bios to find out the information of the hardware.
Lmao, I wish I had your uncle. Mine likes to bake cookies. Trade? You would need to find out the specs of a lot of those things to find out if they are compatible or not. Just look at the labels, if there is any. It should tell you, if not, hook it up and look at the BIOS.
ok, thanks, ill set up, hmm i have the room for free diff combos, ill see witch GFX card is better Also, how many of the hard drives could i fit into 1 computer?
You could fit as many as your ribbon cable will hold, most ribbon cables only have 2 connectors, so only 2 harddrives. Unless you have another ribbon cable, in which case you could hook up as many harddrives as ribbon cable ports on your Motherboard.
The graphics card is probably an ATI RAGE PRO (no clue what number though) Specs are useless as you wont be getting any gaming out of it.
If you buy a RAID adapter you can put as many HDDs on the PC as you want. You could put them all on there if you feel like it. So, that is a varied question. >.< Sorry
